Acupuncture

Acupuncture uses fine, sterile needles placed at carefully selected points. Dr. Fan combines Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis with his extensive knowledge of Western anatomy to identify relevant muscles, nerves, joints, and soft tissues, allowing him to select treatment areas and acupuncture points with greater precision. His skilled needling techniques are tailored to each patient’s symptoms, health history, condition, and treatment goals.

Tuina & Therapeutic Manual Therapy

Dr. Fan combines his understanding of anatomy with Traditional Chinese Medicine principles to identify areas of muscle tension, joint restriction, and soft-tissue discomfort. He then applies targeted Tuina and therapeutic manual techniques to support comfort, mobility, and recovery.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Before recommending Chinese herbal medicine, Dr. Fan takes time to understand each patient’s symptoms, health history, constitution, and overall condition. Herbal therapy may be combined with acupuncture and other treatments to help the body move toward a healthier, more balanced state. When appropriate, a customized herbal formula is then carefully selected and adjusted according to the patient’s individual needs and response to treatment.

Moxibustion

Moxibustion uses gentle, controlled heat from prepared mugwort near selected points on the body. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is used to warm the meridians and address patterns commonly described as Cold and Dampness. When appropriate, Dr. Fan may incorporate moxibustion for patients experiencing cold sensitivity, fatigue, a sense of heaviness, or other related symptoms. Treatment is individualized according to each patient’s condition, constitution, and Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis, with the goal of supporting comfort, vitality, and overall well-being.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping may be used to address areas of muscular tightness, discomfort, and restricted movement. Dr. Fan carefully determines the appropriate placement, suction strength, and treatment duration according to each patient’s condition and tolerance. Temporary circular discoloration may occur after treatment and usually fades gradually over time.

When appropriate, Dr. Fan may combine acupuncture, Tuina, Chinese herbal medicine, moxibustion, and cupping as part of a personalized treatment plan to support the best possible outcomes.
